## About
This is a **solid path** for those of you who want to complete a Computer Science course on your own time, **for free**, with courses from the **best universities** in the World.
This is a **solid path** for those of you who want to complete a **Computer Science** course on your own time, **for free**, with courses from the **best universities** in the World.
In the future, more categories and/or courses will be added to this list or a more advanced/specialized list.
Initially, we will also give preference to MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) type of courses because those courses were created with our style of learning in mind.

### How can I track/show my progress?
### Project Based
To **track** your progress, you should update the profile that you created and add the courses that you began or ended.
Here in **OSS University**, you do **not** need to take exams, because we are focused on **real projects**!
To **show** your progress, you should create a repository on GitHub to put all of the files that you created for each course.
In order to show for everyone that you **successfully** finished a course, you should create a **"startup project"**.
You can create one repository per course, or just one repository that will contain all of the files for each course. The first option is our preferred approach.
> "What does it mean?"
**ps**: You should share **only** files that you are **allowed** to! **Do NOT disrespect the code of conduct** that you signed in the beginning of some courses.
After finish a course, you should think about a **real problem** that you can solve using the acquired knowledge in the course. You don't need to create a big project, but you must create something to **validate** and **consolidate** your knowledge, and also to show to the world that you are capable to create something useful with the concepts that you learned.
[Be creative](#be-creative) in order to show your progress! :smile:
The projects of all students will be listed in [this](projects.md) file. Submit your project's informations in that file after you conclude it.
### Cooperative work

**We love cooperative work**! But is quite difficult to manage a large base of students with specific projects. Use our channels to communicate with other fellows to combine and create new projects.

- **Real projects**: you can try to develop at least **one real project** for each course that you enroll.

## Change Log
**Curriculum Version**: `1.0.0`
To show **respect** to all of our students, we will keep a [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) file that contains all the alterations that our curriculum may suffer.
Now we have a **stable** version of the curriculum, which won't change anymore, only in exceptional cases (outdated courses, broken links, etc).
Our students can **trust** in this curriculum because it has been **carefully planned** and covers **all** the **core topics** that a conventional Computer Science course covers.
We also include modern topics, making this course one of the **best options** for those who want to become a Computer Scientist and/or a Software Engineer.
